First mermaid painting...yay This is actually really old painting. I started to paint it in August 2012, and yesterday I finally finished it. I guess it's time to submit it Maybe you can see some differences in styles, cuz since then I changed it a lot. And I think that here I painted the sea for first time...I have some drawings with water inside, but not like this. I simply wanted to design a mermaid character and now I did it. I painted whole piece with colors (not B&W ) and I used many brushes that it would look like this. I tried to paint this piece as much fantasy as I can...and I tried to paint jellyfishes as light which shows her path to the next mission...

Something about her: Her name is Alexis and she's a warrior (assassin) mermaid. She has been trained to fight and to kill others, but she's not that much "mean". She have a magic sword and tattoo on her shoulder... when she starts a new mission then she calls her "wisps" which lead her to her goal. She lives in water and on the ground. When she calls wisps then her sword starts glowing with red light and wisps raise in front of her, showing her path.

Hello fellow deviant! would you like to see how your drawing looks like in blue. i loved this one so much i decided to fiddle with its Hue and such to impress a fellow mermaid lover friend of mine, i of course ended up sharing your art through all my friends and the have added you to their watchlist and Favorited this piece. reply if you want to see how your mermaid looks like in blue. (i will post a media comment as a reply)

With my stuff, I'm also a biology student, so I'm trying to make my adaptions as biologically realistic as possible, but of course adding a bit of magic here and there for must-haves... (Yeah I talk too much) My point being, make sure the wings aren't feathery (or magic may be necessary), otherwise the mermaid's wings would way too heavy in the water and she'd be shark food, so I suggest leathery batlike wings... Uh... Yeah that's all I wanted to say... Peace o/

When you can look at a picture and it captivates your mind, making you think and wish you were part of the picture itself. Thats when you know, you have found ART. Whilst looking into the mermaids eyes, I found myself thinking...."What if's".....What if I was stronger? What if I was more vunerable? What if I pushed harder? So many things come to mind while looking deep into the picture you have painted and shared with us all here at Deviant Art. I am happy to see such artwork. You have taken the mermaid essence and embraced it. You have done a wonderful job. I hope you do more artwork to share with us all here. Thank you for taking the time to do this.~Sincerely,Jinxi
